Pixel Clouds by Daniel Arsham. Delicate plastic sculpture work by artist Daniel Arsham. Though the web site labels the materials as “plastic” my hunch would be these are ping pong balls that have been dyed and somehow adhered into these incredible structures.

Artist Herb Williams is one of the only people in the world to have an account with Crayola. I imagine him whipping out his cell phone, speed dialing Crayola Headquarters and saying “I need 40,000 Screamin’ Greens and 20,000 Tickle Me Pinks.

Tonight.” I’m not sure if that’s exactly how it works, but lets go with it. This latest work by Williams, Unwanted Visitor: Portrait of Wildfire, just opened at the National Ranching Heritage Center at Texas Tech University in Lubbock. Paper Mt. Hood. Sliced Image and Steel Nut Sculptures by Park Chan-girl. Korean sculptor Park Chan-girl constructs metal sculptures from thin metal layers he calls “sliced images” that resemble three dimensional topography charts. He also meticulously welds thousands of small steel nuts into a delicately textured skin, moulding it into human and animal forms. He received his BFA in Sculpture from Chungnam National University and his MFA in Fine Arts from KyungHee University and has exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions across Korea and China.

Born in Bogota, Colombia, in 1962, Federico Uribe lives and works in Miami. He uses thousands, nay, millions and billions of tiny common objects to create some of the most elaborate sculpture I have ever seen. (via nytimes.com) Figurative Sculptures Made From Tightly Welded Chains. Korean artist Yeong-Deok Seo creates imposing figurative sculptures using tightly knit configurations of welded bicycle chains and industrial steel chains. While impressive in their intricacy and the apparent skill required to create them, the artwork’s titles such as Infection – Anguish, Infection – Ego, and Addict, suggest the rippled surface created by the materials is not an arbitrary decision.

These are figures of individuals in dispair, pockmarked with disease, the chains acting as a metaphor for the human condition. See much more of Seo’s work spanning the past several years here.

Yuki Matsueda. ‘While most designers are busying adding more and more elements into their artworks, Japan-based Yuki Matsueda has, however, managed to let some elements escape from his art pieces. The result seems quite amazing… A vivid 3D image is successfully created and all the elements are believed to be more shocking than those stay still on paper.’ Is this a New Planet? The answer to the title is NO. These images are from a project entitled “Devour” by Christopher Jonassen, which displays pictures of the bottom of worn-out frying pans.

What appears to be a painting is, in fact, a series of dissected layers, forming a figure when viewed from the right angle.

His series, LOOK, forces the viewer to move around and observe each comprehensive piece from different perspectives. In addition to the optical illusions he creates, Murphy works in a variety of mediums that include multi-layered sculptures, nail portraits, wire sculptures, sound installations, and shadow portraits. If you're in New York, you can view LOOK at Gallery Nine5 which is currently on exhibit until October 6, 2011. Michael Murphy's website via [Colossal] Portal Gun. So, one day I decided to make a Portal gun. It turns out the internet really likes Portal, and also really likes my gun. UPDATE: I have a new entry for a rebuild of this project, which goes into more detail. Click HERE for that write up! I made this for my girlfriend Emily, who will be cosplaying as an Aperture Science test subject at DragonCon 2009. EDIT: These have ALL been claimed, and I will not be producing any more than 5.

Truthfully, a LOT of people want these things, and as much as I could just make a never ending string of portal guns, it would diminish the uniqueness of the piece. The 5 replicas will be finished in early October, as I have a lot of other commissions ahead of them right now. For anyone that's curious about how I did it, follow along: I started with 3" and 4" sizes of PVC pipe and cut them into the shape of the black "barrel" of the gun.

And sanded down from the above stage: The center chamber was made out of a mail-order lexan tube and an acrylic plunger handle. We Make It Good » Shintaro Ohata.

Polygon Double Deer #2. This is an intriguing new sculptural piece by artist Kohei Nawa entitled Polygon Double Deer #2. Photograph by Omote Nobutada courtesy Sandwich. Geodesic Spheres Made from Recycled Materials by Nick Sayers. Graphic designer Nick Sayers has mastered the art of geodesic sphere making, using materials ranging from bicycle wheels to tape measurers. These are some of my favorites including a light made with 270 poker playing cards, one from 120 British rail tickets, and another constructed with 60 slotted plastic Coke bottles.

All of his spheres are made without glue or adhesive relying solely on strategically placed cuts in the materials to hold everything together. (via make) Wooden Population Density Mounds.
